Have not done them with a real flaptail, but have done something similar with a colorado blade on the tail. For those, add a shot of weight in front of the hook to help counter balance the plug. You want enough lead to get the plug to sink, slighly tail down. Start the retrieve as soon as it hits the water and crank slow. It will V-wake on top with the blade gurgling and the nose bobbing up and down some, real sexy like. Didn't get the chance to put them in front of stripers. Did get a couple in front of Hybrid Stripers and Smallmouth. Repainted them a couple of weeks back to repair the damage
